Frustration!'d'd'd

Hey, I've that title before!

Today, something happened at my job which made me so angry and frustrated, I almost started crying at work. I had asked for something at work, because I was working on a project and I thought that getting something else from the boss's office would be helpful, but she was out. This was yesterday. Instead of telling me that no one is allowed in her office when she's not here, the office manager (whom I had asked to let me in), said she'd get back to me, never did, told the boss that I had asked to get into her office. Today, she emails all three of us, saying that someone had asked to get in and blah blah blah, no one is allowed in when she's not there. Two minutes later, she sends me an email asking me why I had asked, that she was surprised that "an employee" had asked to get in, and that she hoped it was "a misunderstanding".

What the fuck? I just explained why I had asked, because I thought that if I had the info, things would go smoother than the piecemail bullshit that we've been doing. If I wanted the corporate bullshit, I would have stayed at the bank. I was just so angry about it. Why am I "just an employee"? Why did she not just ask me first and then send out that email? Why can't people just communicate at this place?

I was so mad, I didn't do anything. I just sat there. Then, I started looking for arts jobs again, and lo and behold, there was a job open with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra! It is the Operations Assistant position for Operations/Artistic/Education departments. Seems like it's Maggie's job at the SLSO in MKE. I would be SO excited if I can even get an interview. I know the Artistic Manager for the MSO through SAI, so I'm going to email her and ask her about the job. We haven't met yet, but SAI makes us sisters, so it's cool. :)

It's time to move on from the current job. I don't like my boss and I don't like my prospects. There's no future for me there. But, I would still use them to help us buy a house.

OH! I bet I didn't say that! If we can save up $5000 by April 1, Jake and I are going to try to find a house. My mom and dad said that the money that I give them for the payback of the loan for all my credit card debt, they will give back to us as a gift to buy a house. I'm really hoping that we can find something for $100,000 to $115,000...probably in West Allis or maybe Waukesha if we're lucky.

So, that's exciting for us, anyway.

Nothing much else, I just wanted to vent, even though I will probably vent to Jake when he gets back. Thank goodness that I only work two more days this week. guh.
